down time

When our babies were born, some fellow moms and I concurred that we would never be the types of moms who will conduct our lives based on our children's nap schedule.

Well, that was a bunch of crap.

Today I realized why it is so important that I have Melia home for naptime...it is my only downtime. Yes, I need my downtime. So if I suddenly have to rush out of the mall or disappear from the park, you will know why. I can't miss my window of opportunity for downtime.

Meanwhile, enjoy this picture of Melia with her cousin's Alec and Reid at the Royal Lahaina pool in Maui.

PS. Thanks, Elena, for pointing out to me today that I will probably become a video mom as well. Whatever.

darlin' - there is no "set of instructions" to be a good mom, it all comes from each of our own hearts and situations...and you are doing a fine job. Happy belated Mothers' Day and Birthday, Krista.

By the way, my now 17 and 19 year old kids watched Barney the Dinosaur videos more times than I want to count, and to date, neither of them has gone "postal"...so there!

P.S. Don't worry, I can still recite Jamberry and Good Night Moon from memory ... and I'm leading a pretty normal life!
